Wirepath NST-CAT6R-1000-GRY CAT6 Riser Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT6R-1000-GRY is an unshielded CAT6 riser-rated (CMR) network cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings. Constructed with 23 AWG solid copper conductors arranged in four twisted pairs, this cable delivers the performance headroom required for Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T applications over standard horizontal runs. The 1000-foot pull box format is sized for full-floor or multi-drop runs and reduces handling time during rough-in. Low-voltage installers and network cabling technicians are the primary trades for this product.

This cable is intended for in-wall and in-ceiling backbone and horizontal runs where a riser fire rating is required between floors but a plenum rating is not specified. The gray jacket simplifies color-coded pathway identification in multi-cable bundles. It is appropriate for office buildouts, school networks, hospitality installs, and residential structured media systems where CAT6 performance is the project standard.

Key Features

• CAT6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T applications
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction simplifies termination without special shielded connectors or grounding
• 23 AWG solid copper conductors for reduced insertion loss over longer runs
• Riser (CMR) fire rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for inter-floor vertical runs
• 1000-foot nested pull box reduces cable snags and speeds deployment on large jobs
• Gray jacket for easy bundle identification and pathway organization

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling solution compatible with standard CAT6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 field-termination connectors rated for 23 AWG solid conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or network cabling technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. Maintain a minimum bend radius of four times the cable diameter and avoid running parallel to high-voltage conductors without adequate separation per NEC guidelines. Do not exceed the 25-pound maximum pulling tension typical for CAT6 UTP cable, and avoid kinking or crushing the jacket during fish-tape pulls. Terminate both ends with CAT6-rated connectors or keystone jacks using a 110-punch tool to maintain pair twist as close to the termination point as possible.
